Plants in Sixth Scale

 Plants bring life to dioramas and are an inexpensive way to accessories rooms.  Many of my plants I find at Micheal's.  Succulents start small so the life size small plants look like large plant in the sixth scale. Like the ones in the dish below.

 

A customer purchase the succulent for his stop motion production to use on his boat set below. Would love to know who built this set.  It is beautiful.

Some life size plants have leaves that look like miniature tree leaves so if you have a glue gun and a drill and a twig that look like it could be a miniature tree you can build a tree.  The tree below was made from a boxwood branch.  The boxwood had been trimmed for years so the limbs on the end of the plant had a lot of branching and looked a bit like a bonsai tree.  I just secured the branch to a ceramic plate with hot glue and glued moss on the branches.  Gluing the moss took about an hour because there is some artistry in making the moss look like branches but the materials are not expensive and are easy to come by.

 

The bowl and dish above were found at a dollar store and the terracotta pots below are Micheal's finds.  The tree in the photo below is growing out of a plastic pencil sharpener container.

 The plants above are 'growing' in weathered bolts I found while hiking with my husband in the desert.  We were searching for a rubber chicken that fell from the sky, but that is a whole other story.
